COMMENT. Slides. — 2thinknow have identified trends in the return to the Classics. An example we found on SlideShare follows.

This insightful SlideShare presentation makes links between coding and classical thought. Thanks to JonDahl. Well done!

As online media grows, this channel will increase in its reach & frequency.

Interesting connections.

2thinknow take the view that classics (Aristotle, Plato & the Enlightenment) will be resurgent.

Which is one reason why trends support the so-called US/Melbourne Model of education. Broad then vocational.

What do you think of the Classics? What about Latin? Aristotle? Relevant?

Thanks for posting this. I agree that the classics are relevant and worthwhile, and I think they can help us think about software (and other things). I’ll probably post more articles like this to my blog (http://railspikes.com) over time.
